The Joy of Books
“After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago, my wife and I decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto. Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books. Grayson Matthews generously composed the beautiful, custom music. But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night.” (via Goodreads)
If you love books, and always wondered what went on in your bookstore and library after you locked up for the night - you gotta watch this!
You know you’ve always wondered how those books all got pushed back in a row on the shelf, right?
I want to go to there: library in the woods.

Unbelievably cool Citizen Archive Project combining technology donations, training, and the capturing of distinctive culture and language in Eastern Africa. I want to bring this back to our Bakonjo friends stat.

Perfect — but I can’t find it for sale anywhere…(?)
